Love the discussions and different perspectives.
I love JVL
In this part of my life I think and feel like I’m lookin for love in all the right places. I ended up in tears at the end of your conversation you let us all in on bc I felt so much love. Politics and love ? It’s possible! Thank you Bulwark, one and all.
I thank you for helping me survive the current administration. I am an anti-Trump living smack in the middle of a red state. I do look forward to “The Next Level” every week. Thank you for increasing your visibility through the other “bulwark” outlets. I’ll keep watching and listening.
Thank u Sarah for saying that people do stupid things when they’re young I personally don’t care for tattoos. But get real. Millions of people have them. Plus. Skull and cross bones tattoos? Anyone ever heard of the Grateful Dead? Skeleton in the closet? One last comment. I’m with you JVL. Tearing down the East Wing! Breaks my heart u all are my sanity check. Thank you
